CHARMING NOTE FROM THE SYMBOLIST POET IN THANKS FOR A DEDICATION: ...I am touched, flattered that my name should be admiringly placed on one of your glorious flowers; and I add this, would you please, so that I may enjoy all the surprise, by opening the great book and fully appreciating the honour done me, not give me prior knowledge of the poem nor allow me to isolate it out of selfishness... The poet concludes his note beautifully ...Your very old hand...
